We have just received the following account of the renewal of the Burmese 'War, which has been trans mitted to th• Admiralty by Sir JAMES BRISBANE, as contained in a letter addressed to him. by Captain CliAns, of his Majesty's ship Alligator ' - MELLOUN, JAN. 20, 1826. The time granted for the receipt of the ratification of the Treaty for Peace, by the Court of Ave, having expired on the 18th instant, and the Burman ,Chiefs continuing to act with base duplicity and evasion, no alternative was left the Commander of the Forces (Sir A. Campbell) than the painful one of renewing hosti lities, which was done yesterday, and was attended, I rejoice to say, with the complete defeat of the enemy, and the capture of Melloun, with all the ordnance, boats; commissariat stores, and a small quantity of treasure. " Sir A. Campbell having made his disposi tion' for the attacks of Melloun, about .eleven o'clock, and in a short time, having made the necessary im pression, the works were stormed in a fine gallant style. The enemy fled in the utmost confusion,*ith great loss, leaving us in possession of the Stockade, with, I regret to say, the- gallant Colonel Sale and Major Frith, severely wounded,' and about twenty casualties. [Here follow the names of Officers who distin guished themselves, &c., and other minor details, for which we have not room to-day.] I have the honour to remain, H. D. CIIADS, Capt. of . H.M.S.

The French Papers of Friday and the Etoile, dated Saturday, have been received.. The tedious discussions on the Budget have terminated without causing any alteration in the resolutions originally proposed .by the Ministers, who carried their plan by a majority of 287 to . 45. It was expected that the Session would conse quently eloSe without delay, but for the affair of 'Ovv- TURD, which at present occupies the Chamber of Peers. It appears - by letters from &lite and Ancona, • that the fall of Missolonghi and the barbarities. of the Turks, have, instead of depressing the spirit of the . Greeks, only tended to inspire . them to still greater acts of heroism' and suffering. The people and their leaders now see that unanimity' is necessary to the salvation of their country, and. they generously lose sight of private interests for the public good. Had that noble feeling of patriotism but governed her councils and animated her fleets and armies from the commencement of the struggle for independence, Greece would long ere now have been enjoying the blestii4a of liberty, and the slaughter of thousands who fell victims to Turkish cruelty and rapine, had been prevent e d. The following are extracts : (From the Etoile, dated Saturday, Juno 17.) I%IA.ARI n, Juin 5.---Ills MaieilY has granted several favours on the occasion of his fete (or saint's day). The ministers, coin_ muds, Zambrano, Ballasteros, and Sahatr, have received the grand cordon of the Order of St. Charles 111. The fi rst, who is going to marry the sister of the Duchess of Gor, expects to be raised to the rattle of a grandee of Spain. • By order of Lieut.-General Gudin, 50 men of the 13th French Regiment of Chasseurs have been stationed at Medina-Sidonia, and General Castellaue, who coramands his van-guard, .has, pushed reconnoitring parties of infantry and cavalry in front of his seve ral cantonments; but these hands do not seem inclint 4 tO measure their strength with the French troops. One hundred horsemen stumbled on the 234 of Slay, in the eVening, near Trehnjent.— , There is every reason to believe that those last are sinugglert, whose purpose was to protect tome contraband goods.

The Manifesto further declares that both classes of peasants most submit to the obligations hitherto imposed on them, or he. punished with the utmost seventy of the law _ . New York Papers to the 24th May, have come to 1 hand, but their contents are uninteresting. It appears that Congress was on the point of adjourning to the month of December Yonx.=Accounts from Alaranham to the 17th ult.. re present that the markets at that place were low for American pro duce ; cotton ind hides very scarce.. - Freights so low that a num ber of English vessels, after lying there three or four months, were obliged to leave without any, not being worth the expente of loading. Letters received from the 'southern port, end from Para, stated the markets to be very dull for all kinds of American produce. . It i,3 amusing to observe the difficulty which fo reigners find in their 'endeavours to understand the inconsistencies between the theory and the practice of many parts of our national system, and to reconcile the apparent departures from the spirit of our Con stitution, with that wonderful stability which they perceive that it possesses, and of which indeed the trials of the last thirty-five years have given pretty strong proof. •They are generally unable to appre ciate the effect of the mellowing hand of time, - if time he allowed to work ; and the vast difference between the application of the same theoretical principles, by rude beginners, or by long habituated practitioners. It is wirticUlarly to the ,composition and organization of the third estate, that most trying portion of a mixed Government, that these remarks apply. In all the countries which have sought to follow the example of England, and to adopt, at least in part, the con stitution under which she has attained so unequalled a degree of prosperity, some uniform rules have been laid down for the Elections of the Representatives of the Peole, throughout all the parts of the realm ; and in France, for instance, there can be no variety in the different bodies of electors beyond the local one existing between the inhabitants of large towns and those of the country. This is perfectly natural, and the wisdom of man would probably never have ima gined the expediency of the " tesselated pavement," as our House Of. Commons has been called.' Hap 'pity, however, for England, time and circumstances have done for her what it would be too presumptuous to ascribe solely to the wisdom of her children. No other system has yet stood the test of experience. A third eitate, formed upon uniform Kinciples, has either been the tyrant and destroyer, or the tool and victim of the other estates ; and we are still to learn whether the rule may not be a lasting one. In our happy island, that exquisite variety winch would have been so little thought of by a theorist, guards alike against' each extreme ; every interest and every in fluence is introduced into our third :estate ; and the equilibrium which all legislators have so much desired, and which Montesquieu and many others have fancied to exist in the balance of our three estates, has in reality been attained in the internal balance existing in the third., It is' with a strong sense of the im mense advantages actually resulting front such a system, that we now turn to a lighter consideration of the sub ject, and indulge a smile at the variegated hues of our electors and elected. In more places than one, in . higher representations than boroughs, we see many elected who are shrewdly suspected of owing their re turn to the good wishes of certain Members of the Upper House, who are, of tonne, excluded from all intefference in the selection of the Members of the Lower ; in sonic placei, it is riot a Peer indeed, who is charged with prompting the return, but some rich commoner, whose voice is most potential in the road to the senate ; in others, a sung little knot of gentle men form it corporation, carefully locked up against new comers, and compose a body of electors as --here ditary as that of the. old German Empire (the three spiritual ones excepted). In some places, where the people reight really be supposed to be the - constituents, it turns' out that a ,dozen of tradeimen lay their heads together and give the law to a herd of humble fol lowers ; whilst, lastly, in many other •'quarters, we do see the pure spirit of the law and constitution, exerted in the free votes of respectable freeholders or citizen:, without observing much difference between the repre sentatives of these latter electors and, those of the other constituent bodies (or individuals) before alluded to. FrOrm such modes of nomination,. an' agreeable variety occurs in the nominees. The Nabob, arrived from India last month, may get a seat in the House as well as the country gentleman whose ancestors have , for ages represented the same county : the banker, the merchant, the lawyer, the military or the naval officer, those who have money without talent, and those who have talents without money, all may get in. Every party and every interest is represented, and, to use the words of the.most distinguis hed' Member of the House in question, the system works The prevalence of a malignant species of small-pox, in the course of last year, and the number of cases which. proved fatal,,gave rise, both in this country and in France, to an unfounded alarm in the minds of many pers , ons, regard to the benefits of Vaccination notwithstanding the opinions in its favour so often ex pressed by all the most eminent medical men. In England, the matter, was fully discussed, and the merits of Vaccination:conclusively asserted, in the last Annual Report of the National Vaccine Board to the Secretary of State. At Paris, it appears that three Physicians undertook to make personal enquiries, at every house in which a person , who had fallen a victim to the small-pox, had resided; they have lately pub lished a report of their visitation, accompanied by six large sheets, containing the names and residences of all the individuals ; and the result is pronounced to be, an additional assurance, that if Vaccination does not, in every case, altogether preclude the possibility_ of receiving the infection of the small-pox, its efficacy is Certain in deprivingthat fatal disease , of all dangerous malignity. ll‘ l e Bti , instant,r l eeiveti iiatnburghper p a ps,' this, nagroing to the . bringing accounts frotn St. Pettus burgh tottb e 31st M a y, by which it ppears, that the (Uovemor,. of the .

This joyful event: was announced to the inhabi tants of the Capital by a salute frora the citadel, and the whole city was illuminated. The young Princess is to be called Helena. By an order of the day of the 12th of this month, Count Araktschejeff, Governor of the Military Colonies, has obtained leave to travel, in order to take the baths; and Major-General Kleinmichel t the Chief of his Staff, has the direction of the Co lonies in the meantime.- Oneld a ny very important cases occur, he is to lay them hefore General Diebitech, the Chief of the Em - perm's Staff, who will submit them to .his Majesty for his deci sion. The celebrated poet, Schukowsky, who directs the studies of the young Duke Alexander, is also gone abroad to take the baths for the recovery of his health. Several merchants of the lit class at Odessa, have founded an Insurance Company for ships and merchandise. It 111 established for five years, and the capital i s 250,000 shares. . MAT 3.—The day before y e sterday, Baron Von Lebezeltem, the Austrian Ambassador, had his audience of leave. The Portuguese .Ambassador, Senor Guerreiro, presented his credentials, as did also the Duke de S. Carlos in the name of his Sovereign and of the Duke of Lucca. On the 30th, his Majesty inspected the fortifications - of Cron stadt, and the squadron of Admiral Crown. lie made a visit to Madame Von Itintusow, the wife of our Governor-General, on hoard the Proworni frigate, which conveys her to Lubeck.— Baron Crown's fleet, consisting of three ships of the line and nine frigates, will sail on a cruise off Dogger Bank. MON.• By a Royal Ordinance of the 29tt ult., those Frenchmen who enjoyed donations in the province. of the kingdom ceded to France by their former sovereigns, are allowed the term of 2 years to demand the revenue of sueh domains, due before the 80th May, 1814, and still in arrear, provided these revenues, really arise from domains that made a part of the provinces in question. Frankfort papers to the 12th inst. have been recei ved this afternoon, from which the ,falloing are ex- tracts MUNICH, JUNI 10. The celebrated optician, Franenhofer, died here on the 7th of this month, in the 39th year of his age ; hie funeral was cele brated to-day, and attended by a numerous suite of friends. The services he rendered to astronomy by the improvement of the English crown and flint glass, by which his telescopes acquired such a degree of perfection, will preserve his name in the memory of all friends of that service. In order to prevent confusion, it has been ordered, that in the province of East Friesland► where family names have often been changed in the most arbitrary manner, every body shall hence forward have:one family name, retain that he now bears, and not change it without express licence from the Government. Sons at all times to retain the family names borne by their fathers. PAIJIIMIN, JUNI 4! Yesterday evening, while the weather was quite fine and dry, the inhabitants of part of this city were alarmed by the sudden appearance of floods of water, which, like the wave.► of the sea, poured against the east gates. The public walks' that lay higher were immediately filled with crowds of people, who were soon convinced by the horses and oxen swimming in the torrent, the fragments of carriages and agricultural implements of all kinds, and a human body, that some extraonlinary phenome non must have taken place, respecting which we expect , farther information.

They contain some observations, under date of Hamburgh, June 11, respecting the disturbances in Batavia - and Java, which appear to have been of a trifling description. By an aiticle. from St: Peters burgh, it appears that account( had been received phere from General .YERMOLOFF, commanding in Georgia, where his operatidrier spinet the rebellious tribes of the Caucasus had prodttia the desired effect.

The papers contain alto the ratification of the treaty between Brasil and Portugal. The hird llobart packet, heund to Buenos Ayres, had arrived the 210 April, in 49 day., with dispatehis to the British Minister. The hustle of the Election in Surrey has ceased most unex pectedly, by the resignation of Mr. H. &swim, who has been advised by his very judicious friends to withdraw from a contest, which, if successful, would hive left him little room for triumph. Unhappily for this Gentleman, the freeholders of Surrey have not forgot certain acts which the late Member ,would have willingly passed over. His successful rival, Mr. P.A !Amyx, seems to have engrossed the good will of all parties, and we hope that his conduct in the Senate will nut disappoint their .expectations. If it shotild,..hs cannot complain of not having bad a 'food lesson before him. . . ..........„ _____ In Lancaster the " note of preparation" has been soundetl in vain, Mr. Nowell, the new candidate, having retired, after hold ing out to the good people of Lancaster the flattering prospect of a ripe harvest, and lota of fun. • . There has been some talk of the County of York being again contested by the return of Mr. Barnst,s, to the , poll, but we must wait for more authentic accounts before we credit the report. THE FUNDS. The transactions in the. Funds drying the last week kive been very limited, and the price of Stocko, as will be seen by our daily reports, has notialtered per cent.--Most of the leading mem bers of the Stock Exchange have been engaged in Elections; many have -taken advantage of the shutting of Consols, and have left town, and we hardly recollect so little businesa doing; our readers will observe a trifling rise in the price of Echiquer Bills, the !tale from a certain quarter having ceased, and upon the whole the Money Market is a little better than it has been lately. In Mexican and Colombian, there has been a considerable fall, and .the lout letters from Bogota represent the financial depart ments to have been throWn into the greatest dismay in come- Inence of the intelligence, which had just reached them, of the failure of B.

WINDSOR, JUNE IS.—This forenoon his Majesty, with his household attendants, heard divine service at the, new Chapel Royal: On Friday and yesterday his Majesty, with his dis tinguished household attendants, dined at Virginia Water. It is expected that his Majesty will leave the' Royal Lodge on Tuesday for Carlton Palace. It is said for a few days only. The Duke of York continued gradually renovering on Saturday and yesterday from his late indisposition. The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester visited his Royal Highness yesterday, Sir Henry Halford attended the Duke of York yesterday and on Saturday, and stated that his Royal Highness con tinned better. Yesterday the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Feodore, attended divine ser vitt, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Princess Sophia gave an alegant entertainment on Friday evening, at her apartments in the Kino's Palace, Kensington, to the Princess Augusta and a select party. Yesterday the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia, and the Princess Feodore, visited the Princess Augusta. On Saturday Mr. Secretary Canning gave a grand dinner to a numerous party of Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, &c. at his residence in Downing-street. It is said that Lady Cochrane, who continued to reside at Brusseli after the departure of her husand, is preparing to go to Italy. The Drury Lane Committee met on Saturday to receive tenders for a Lease of that Theatre ; but in consequence of an intiinatioh that several other tenders were to be presented in the course of Monday, the Committee adjourned to Thursday next. The Gentlemen who are at present looked to by the Livery as Sheriffs for London and Middlesex, to be proposed at Midsummer-day, are Charles'Farebrother, Esq. Citizen and Vintner, and Henry Winchester, Esq. Citizen and Cutler. MinpLEsrx..---Yesterday a - deputation of Middle sex electors waited upon the Lord Mayor, and re-, quested him to allow himself to be proposed as a Can didate for the representation of the county. 'His Lord ship has, we are assured, also received a number of letters to the same purpose, but he has not as yet ac., ceded to their request. It was reported last night that another Candidate for the representation of the county i;.ould present himself in the person of Mr. Mellish, Observer. As Dr. Lushington was arguing a case before Sir Christopher Robinson, in the Consistory Court, .on Friday last, a Flemish girl, habited in the costume of her country, perceiving the door open, and believing the Court:to be a dwelling-house, stepped in and cried aloud " puy a proom, puy a proom." The circum stance caused a little merriment, but the poor girl was much alarmed on disco'vering her erior, and hastily retreated .after glancing at the Counsel. It is -a curious coincidence, .that Mr. Fuller, better known some years sip in. the House of Commons, as honest Jack Fuller," who was taken under the pro tection of the Serjcant at Arms, for expressing' himself in rather unhandsome terms 'of the Speaker 's Wig, was in company with Lord Colchester, that identical Speaker, at the private' view of the King's pictures on Saturday, and they went round the 4allery together, taking an attentive survey of ,the paintings in the par ticipation of a joint connoiseurship, in Nvirich breaches of order and wigs seemed to he forgotton, so true are the words of the poet— Tlgenuas difici!tee fitleiiter a rter Evimiht mores nee mink esseferaa. During the last French war a frigate wan lying at anchor one very hotaterous night in the Downs. 'rh o boatswain: on watch was amusing himself with a song, when an officer happened •to con on deck— , Jerk,' said he ' if' pence were to Come, you could iiever make, your lwead by singing.' Avast there,' says Jack, ‘, for shiver my splinters! if I did' not once make: half-a-crown at Portsmouth by singing a song?-4 Indeed!' said the Officer, rather incredulously, How was that ?*-4 Why, Sir, they gave me Wye see, one shilling and sixpence to hold my tongue, and one shilling to walk to the door.' LACONIC ADDRESB.—Sir Gilbert Elliott, during the siege of Gibraltar, said, What ! would you Englishmen, that are fed upon beef, suffer yourselves to he beaten by these Spaniards; who' live only On chesnuts ?' Such an appeal as this went home, at once, to the very hearts and stomachs of his men, and victory could not fail to follow it. A provincial paper once stated, that the grains of wheat were so large that year, that they choked the little birds that attempted to swallow them ! At the time of the commercial dissentious between Great Britain and Holland, and when non-importation resolutions were passing in many parts of the sister island, the inhabitants of one of fits towns assembled to do the same likewise ; but as they wisely considered, that they ought to except from destruction an article of which they stood in great need, their resolution ran thus: "Resolved, that we will burn all articles brought from England, excepting coals." HEROD'S CRUELM—When Herod had put to death many of his children, the Emperor hearing of it, said, He had rather be Herod's hog than his child, for he killed his children, and spared his pigs !' ELECTIONEETIING EXTRAORDINAnY.- 7 —The Agents of a candidate .for the representation of a Northern Borough, not very famous for the purity of elections, were so eager in procuring voters, that a good lady who wished to have a trip to the country, 'to enjoy the fun and frolic of a contested election, presented ,herself, in the garb of her Lord Anti master, to the agents, and was immediately sent off to the poll.

The exhibition of His Majesty's choice and splendid colleetioit of paintings' by 'ancient masters, was opened to the public ; this morning.' • We were admitted to the private view on Saturday, but regreethat the time and space Which we are nbliged to devote to electioneering affairs, prevent, our going into the merits of these beautiful works of art, consisting of 164 paintings chiefly of the Dutch and Flemish *clients, with some of , Sir Joshua's, Ate.— , being•the whole of his Majesty's private collection at Carlton Palace. There is one amongst the mimber, which, of itself, wnnld he well worth the trouble of going some distance to see. It is the' interior of a Convent, with Monks at their devotion, by Grenet. The powerfal effect it produces, attracted great atten tion, and-universal admiration: The management of light and shade is such, as that' the figures of the Monks seem before the spectator not as painted, hnt • as amid, and after looking at it little time, the imagination vault', almost trace the cloth habits of di ng y benwni , usually worn by there religious devotees. - Much however, - as tewedtnire the eollettion, we Time 'net omit to ex press our admiration of the munificence of the getterbtit bktiereign, who bestows su great wgratilication, owl which ought to he justly appreciated, by 'lnk subjects. it may he truly said' of his preeent Majestyi that agreater patron of the Arts never sat on the British throne; and we heartily wish, and sincerely hope, that he may live many years, to see and enjoy the great improvements which have been made, and are daily flourishing under the direction of his fine taste, and encouraged by his liberal patronage.

It is really an interesting sight, and gives a much better idea of the great and mortal combat of a field of battle than could be possibly conveyed by a panoramic view on canvass, as it repre sents by figures of solid materials the battle in all its details, and with the most accurate y attention to heraldry, chivalry, costume.and general effect. It is extremely Well modelled, and calculated to give an excellent notion of the chances and dangers of war ; and cannot, we think, fail to inspire feelings of admiration mixed With affecting, though proud, recollection, of the many brave fellows who, even during our own times, have fallen in defence of their country, CORN-EXCHANGE-4Thts PAT).
